Emma, an Investment Director, will primarily be focused on the Business and Technology & Information services sectors, further deepening Sovereign’s capabilities in these areas.

The early part of Emma’s career in M&A was with Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and then UK Landsbanki Securities, the investment banking arm of Landsbankinn. She then spent the following 10 years with Capita plc as Corporate Development Director leading the Group’s acquisition and disposal activity. There she led large volumes of transactions across a wide range of sectors. These included the £235m disposal of ParkingEye and the acquisition of Knowledgepool in a £25m deal.

Dominic Dalli, Partner, Sovereign Capital Partners commented, “We are delighted to welcome Emma to Sovereign as we continue to develop the team. Emma’s areas of sector expertise are highly complementary to our own and she has a breadth and depth of deal experience, driving all aspects of the transaction process, as well as supporting new investment opportunities. We have had a busy few months at Sovereign and look forward to working with Emma as we continue to partner successful businesses where we believe we can help deliver significant growth.”
